About this episode
On October 17th, 1898, a most daring theft took place on a train at Paris’s Gare du Nord station. In the blink of an eye, and in broad daylight, a priceless collection of jewels was taken from under the nose of their owner — the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland. The culprit was one of the most cunning, lightest-fingered crooks in Europe. The original gentleman thief. Unparallelled in his abilities, he was a man known to both the law, and the underworld world only by his alias — Harry 'the Valet'.
